Simple Pleasures Progress

It's been a while ... but here's a little look at where my Simple Pleasures quilt is heading. The squares below are to make the 4-patch blocks. I'm using Cottage Charm fabrics by Heather Mulder-Peterson ... (not sure if the browns will make it into the quilt) ... and doing a scrappier version than the original.

The stitchery squares will all be appliqued onto spotty fabrics .. just because I like spots ...

and I plan to use the cream fabric to frame the 4-patches.

My stitchery squares are bigger than the original pattern (yes, I messed up the size when appliqueing them!!) but I think they will still work. I am enjoying the applique part and getting much quicker the more I do.

I have finished my Cottage Blessings bag so will be back soon to share some pictures.

I have some of those same fabrics - I used the browns too - I won a package of fat quarters and the browns, reds plus some in blues, yellows and pinks - they are all going in my Star Crazy BOM - I love that fabric line.Karenhttp://karensquilting.com/blog/

Hi. I'm an Australian quilter and stitcher from Ulverstone in north-west Tasmania. I enjoy sewing with pretty fresh fabrics in a vintage modern style.
When I'm not quilting, I love going for long walks on the beach and trying out new healthy recipes with my Thermomix.
I am married and have three feline friends - Mamma, Mia and Mortimer.
